THE BRONX - A Bronx politician is taking an extra step to get his constituents to clean up after their pets.

Assemblyman Marcos Crespo went door to door around the 85th District with a group of student volunteers to ask permission to put up front yard signs reminding people to scoop the poop and leash their dogs.

It's all part of a quality-of-life initiative called "Take pride in where you reside." Crespo says dog feces and dirty streets are some of the top complaints that come into his office.
